Mercy J L Aarne

A kid commits suicide as a direct result of bullying once every half-hour.



This is something that Mercy Hartwell knows, but it doesn't impact her life until her brother, Corey nearly becomes a statistic.



On a Monday morning in small town Iowa, a harmless school assembly about bullying takes an unexpected turn and becomes a hostage situation. With a captive audience and a small arsenal, Mercy and her friends conduct a trial with themselves as judges, jury and executioners. They're willing to risk everything for their one chance at vengeance. In their courtroom, anyone can accuse anyone of anything as long as they're willing to tell their horrible story in front of the class.



The only verdict is guilty.



The only punishment is death.



Those who survive will have a whole new reason to hate Mondays.
